Some pocket square designs

[Kent Wang]

I'm working on these designs. Most are unfinished, but I'd like to see which are popular so I can decide which are worth finishing.

Jerusalem - Text will be removed

Leo Belgicus - Higher resolution image would be obtained

Months - White parts would be filled in

Mughal 1

Neptune - Blending on top border would be fixed

Primavera - This is pretty much finished

Many more original silk pocket squares on my website

The bottom two are my favourite designs.

Is it just 100% silk you're getting these printed on? A wool / silk blend would look good.

PS.: it looks like you're a lot into Renaissance-y arts (which I like) but I'd like to see Van Gogh's Café de nuit made into a pocket square, would look awesome!

Have you considered doing a Bosch painting?

Mughal 1, Neptune and Primavera are my favorites.

Yes, 100% silk.

I'm not really sold on wool/silk. The definition doesn't seem as crisp. I might try it in the future.

I'm into all eras, but I actually prefer illustration and crisp colors such as with Mughal 1 and Months. I find paintings can often look like a blur when folded. Of course Primavera and Neptune are exceptions, so hard to say what will catch my eye.

The best Van Gogh pocket square would be Starry Night, especially if you crop to show just the sky and leave out the church steeple. These colors are really crisp, but this work may be too famous.

I might do The Garden of Earthly Delights—it's already square!

Thanks KW for the answer!

Awesome.

That version of Leo Belgicus makes me think of phagocytosis.

As an aside, I find squares that are very dark hard to use. I also don't like large dark areas juxtaposed too sharply against very light areas.

I have been finding ways to have Starry Night PS made although I would keep the entire painting even if the PS ended up being rectangular. Another option could be Starry Night Over the Rhone.
I like their color palette.

Van Gogh just seems like a great idea in general due to the vibrant colors he used. If you want a less famous work than Starry Night, I think many of his Olive Trees would work pretty well.

Cezanne (thinking his landscapes, mainly), Monet, ect might work too.

I just love my impressionists. The Renaissance stuff is fine, but it doesn't really get me going the way Van Gogh does.

Also, have you considered getting licensing to do this?

I vote for Garden of Earthly Delights!
